Economic Indicators is a bimonthly summary
of economic trends and data relating to the State of
California. Developments in California over the most recent months are reviewed in a brief text, and then summarized in current data tables which show changes over the previous year. Much of the data in the report has been seasonally adjusted by the source agency or by the Department of Finance. Reference dates for U.S. business cycles, as determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research, are also shown. Finally, a list of sources is provided to assist readers in obtaining any additional information on the statistical series published. The Department of Finance welcomes suggestions on additions or changes which would make the Indicators a more useful report. |
